Saving Private Ryan (1998)

I know I haven't officially started the 52 weeks yet but a friend of mine on Facebook recommended this one.

His direct comment was that he believes that every American should see this film by the time they are 16.  So what did I think of the movie?  I would give it a 4.5 out of 5.  What's not to like here?  Triumph, tragedy and the American spirit too. 

The only caution I would have is that there is a lot of blood (of course) and the story can be tear-jerking at times too.  If you have any family members who have served, this can really shed alot of light on what they have been through.

A big thanks to all of the men and women out there who have risked their lives to defend my freedom.
